“I am the oldest of four in my family,so from the beginning my parents and I knew we couldn’t pay for all of my college education on our own. We were pretty apprehensive after seeing the initial cost to attend MMC. HOWEVER, after a single meeting with my MMC Enrollment Counselor, our concerns no longer existed. We trusted MMC to go above and beyond in making my education affordable and I am so thankful they did!”
